- thanks to @mossworm.bsky.social i am unable to think of the mariana snailfish as something other than 'bibby'
- The deepest confirmed fish observation occurred at ~8,300 m. I know the shape behind it is another fish’s tail, but my brain insists it looks like the foreground fish is wearing a party hat. #deepsea #marinelife www.nhm.ac.uk/discover/new...

- every time this photo gets recirculated with an incorrect ID a marine biologist dies a little inside
- This picture has been making the rounds again, and is being misidentified again. This is a GOOSEFISH. This is NOT a tasselled wobbegong shark. It’s a great pic. I get why people are very excited about it. But it’s as easy to give it the right name as the wrong one. fullfact.org/online/tasse...
